Eligibility

In order to register for a myLoyolaSelect account, you must be 12 years of age or
older. Parents or legal guardians of minor children may request access to a
minor child's account by requesting "Proxy Access" as outlined below.

Proxy Access

A parent or legal guardian may request proxy access to the myLoyolaSelect account
of a minor child under the age of 12 by completing the Minor Proxy Access Consent
Form and returning it to LUHS. If the proxy's parental or legal relationship
with the minor child changes, the proxy must inform LUHS immediately. Please note that under
Illinois and Federal law, a parent or legal guardian may not view certain types
of personal health information of a minor child 12 or older without the consent
of that minor child. If a parent or legal guardian
has proxy access to a minor child under the age of 12, proxy access will be
revoked automatically when the minor child reaches the age of 12.
Individuals over the age of 12 can grant proxy access to their myLoyolaSelect account to spouses, family members, caregivers or other individuals by
completing the Proxy Access Consent Form and returning it to LUHS. The individual granting proxy access to another
person can revoke that proxy access at any time and for any reason. The legal
guardian of a legally incompetent individual age 18 or older can request proxy
access to the myLoyolaSelect account of a legally incompetent individual by completing
the Legal Guardian of Incompetent Adult Proxy Access Consent Form and returning
it to LUHS. If the proxy's legal relationship with the legally incompetent adult
changes, the proxy must inform LUHS immediately.

For all types of Proxy Access, a myLoyolaSelect account will be activated for both
the proxy and the account holder. The individual granting proxy access to another person can revoke that proxy
access at any time and for any reason. LUHS reserves the right to revoke proxy access
at any time and for any reason.

Deactivation/Revocation

I understand that I have the right to deactivate my myLoyolaSelect account at any time. I understand that LUHS has the
right to revoke my myLoyolaSelect account at any time and for any reason without prior notification.
